Two Step Boiled Louisiana Crawfish Recipes

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, bring 10 gallons of water to a full boil. Add seasonings and bring water back to a full boil. Add crawfish, and bring back to a full boil. Once crawfish return to full boil, turn off fire, and add 1 gallon of the chilled After Boil Ingredients. Soak for 35 minutes, and then they are ready to eat.
• In a large pot, combine 1 gallon water with garlic, onions, celery, and lemons. Bring to a full boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and chill.

Steps:

• Wash the crawfish with fresh water in a large plastic tub; let the water run until clear, then drain.
• Fill an 80-quart pot halfway with enough water to cover the seafood and fixin's. Add the potatoes, sausage, oranges, artichokes, garlic and celery -- things that take longer to cook. Bring to a boil, then add the crawfish boil mix and liquid crawfish boil. Continue to boil for 3 minutes.
• Add the crawfish and return to a boil; cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in the corn, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. Let the crawfish soak for 20 to 25 minutes. The longer they soak, the spicier and juicier they get.

Steps:

• Fill a very large pot about 1/3 full with water. Add the garlic, bay leaves, dry and liquid crab boil seasonings, salt, pepper, oranges, lemons, artichokes, and potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the corn, onions, mushrooms, and green beans; cook 15 minutes more. Stir in the sausage; cook 5 minutes more. Add the crawfish, return mixture to boil, then simmer until the crawfish shells turn bright red and the tails pull out easily, about 5 minutes. Test for doneness by peeling a crawfish. Be sure not to overcook, or crawfish will become tough.
• Drain well. Serve crawfish hot, Louisiana-style, spread over a picnic table covered with newspapers.

Steps:

• Fill a large stockpot with the seafood boil, the water, and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, decrease the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the potatoes, onions, lemons, and garlic. Cover, increase the heat to medium-high, and return to a boil; cook an additional 10 minutes. Add the corn, sausage, and crawfish. Cover and return to a boil; cook until the crawfish are bright red and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
